Rich Swann defended his WWE Cruiserweight Championship against THE Brian Kendrick and TJ Perkins at WWE Roadblock: End of the Line. The Pittsburgh crowd was noticeably dead for the triple threat match, hardly invested at all. Rich Swann ended up winning the match and retaining his title.

Jim Ross comments on the Cruiserweight Title match lacking heat:
Submission oriented matches with talent’s who aren’t ‘over’ yet are challenging for fans to emotionally invest. #Cruiserweight #RoadBlock

A good point from JR. A lot of the Cruiserweight’s are still developing their characters and getting the crowd to invest in them. Booking the match with submissions leaves the crowd bored if they don’t care about a specific guy.
